Over to the Dark Side - Scotty Cameron TeI3 restoration

[MusicMan]

your way to smart for me Dan!

i guess when you look at it that way it makes sense... my putter is 300 and my driver is 900... which one do i use more... good theory

["Richard"]

Sure, that makes sense to dan but you could also have said "I WANT IT"

[Kilroy]

Yup.

[Kilroy]

The wait is no problem. I wouldn't be using it much now

I did see that post last week. This putter looks to be ideal for a resto. I'll be very suprised if it's rejected. Fingers crossed.

I have the leather wrap on my ACIII and it's an excellent grip. Really tacky. Now the wait, the hardest part.

Did you see this thread on TCC? Some interesting info on why they're harder to restore, and some pictures of a TeI3 insert out of the head. Way thicker then I would have thought.

[Kilroy]

40 days plus shipping back and forth so I figure end of Feb.

[Kilroy]

If I only played 20 rounds a year I'd never do this, nor would I spend that kind of money on a driver, but golf is my thing.

I don't expect this little Mr Cameron to have siblings. That is yet another disease

[Colby]

This is just so funny to watch, hahahahahaha

[Kilroy]

The downward spiral into the Scotty abyss?
My famous last words?
The justification of $?
The drooling over a putter of all things?
All of the above?

[MusicMan]

welcome to the club Dan haha. sucked in another one

All of the above, LMAO!!!

I just never thought you would get sucked up into the hype, that's all.

It will be interesting to know if you actually putt better with it. I've always found putting is more confidence than equipment. I putt better with my $100 STX putter than most guys at the club with their $300+ putters.

[Nat Williams]

yup, it's all over now dan...

[Kilroy]

I putt better with my $100 STX putter

I putt OK with your old STX putter.
Looking for the magic bullet.

Great turnaround for this type of work. Wouldn't it be interesting to see the workshop area where all the restorations are done.

Oh well...

Dear Friend,
Unfortunately we cannot paint over the silicone inserts as they will not hold paint.
Thank you for your email!

On the bright side, I now have a friend at the Scotty Studio.
I guess trying to do it myself is officially a bad idea now.

I'm just glad your not starvingstudent anymore; what a misnomer that was!!!!!!

You should try and get a scotty sponsor; alothough after coming to your site the other day I found myself 9/10th of the way through an incorpration before saking why I was doing it

[Kilroy]

[MusicMan]

I'll start

here is day 1 of 45ish

[knickers]

LOL, Of course he's excited. Just saw a post about being tempted to buy an american classic III.
Im atually excited to see pics of the finished product myself. Shes going to look great and I'm glad to see it couldn't have ended up in better hands.

[Kilroy]

Greetings Dan,
We have received your putter(s) at the Custom Shop and will promptly begin the restoration, customization, and/or authentication process.
You will receive an email when your order is complete, which will summarize your final charges. In addition, you will receive an email with your shipping tracking number.

It's pretty cool. It's supposed to be 40 days turnaround.

As for Agent99's excitement, I learned long ago not to speak for her, but I think it's safe to say she's not as excited as I am

[MusicMan]

shes just jelous that she's Scottyless... haha

[MusicMan]

if u wanted to make paint stick theres always a way... as long as you take the procective coating off u can surely get paint to stick... right?

[Kilroy]

Not sure I want to mess with it that much

[MusicMan]

just thought i would tauce it out there

[Kilroy]

Update - Since painting the Canadian flag pattern was not going to work out, I decided to go for the authentication.
